Depew police warn of rash of car break-ins and thefts
Thieves not only have been ransacking parked vehicles in Depew – three were stolen outright from driveways, village police reported today.
Several "car pops" have occurred during the past three weeks, Detective Scott Hossfeld said. In addition, three unlocked vehicles, with keys hidden within, were stolen.
Two of the vehicles have been recovered, Hossfeld said.
The exact areas where the crimes occurred weren't disclosed by police, who cited the ongoing investigation.
Residents are urged to keep their vehicles locked at all times – even when parked in their driveways – and to keep keys secured within their homes.
While patrols have been increased in the affected areas, residents also are asked to call police when they see suspicious activity during the overnight hours.

Really tired of these newer keyboards that have the paste-on labels that wear off, sometimes fast, sometimes slow but always inevitable. Tried one 'slim' keyboard with chicklet-style keys (actually liked it a lot) - not only did the labels wear off but a couple of the keys themselves (W & S) actually started wearing away, almost like they were melted.
Anyone have recommendations for boards with actual stamped-on and painted letters, hopefully not too outrageously expensive.
Thanks in advance.
Well, there are keyboards like Filco (though you'd have to like mechanicals, personally I don't) where you can replace the entire keyboard of keycaps.
Similarly, Topre keyboards - which are basically rubber domes with spring assist and I like them a lot better than the Filco's for that reason, though still not as much as some regular rubber domes - are entirely replaceable too. They do need it, as the legends aren't quite as hardwearing as the Filco's.
"Not outrageously expensive" is going to cover a lot of territory, as people have a lot of range in terms of what constitutes a minimally acceptable keyboard You're gonna have to give us a budget ball-park to work with.
Most keyboards that come with an OEM system as well as pretty much everything under $20 will be printed with a pad printer and then covered with clear coat stickers to protect them. Depending on how caustic your hands are-- and I'm not kidding on that part-- those will often wear away quickly.
If you're curious about the options, the Das Keyboard folks (IMHO a little on the expensive side) have a good explainer on how keyboards are made and they include a lot of info on key marking:
You're looking for laser-etched or dye sublimation printed keys at a minimum (they *can* both wear through, but it's very hard to do so)
The next pricing tier up gets you double-shot keys, where the key markings are actually a different kind of plastic and impossible to wear though. That's *usually* a higher-end product, but every illuminated keyboard has to use this method to get a translucent plastic element so that the light under the keys can shine through. That may be one easy way to tell what keyboard will be OK, but then obviously you'd have to want an illuminated keyboard. That might look too gaudy if you're using it at a reception desk for example...
Not correct re backlit keys. Most - including all the recent backlit mechs I've seen - are coated. After a while wear will result in just blobs of light.
You want laser-etched keycaps. It's not going to be cheap. But most good keycaps comes mounted on very good keys too. Get some keyboard with quality keys like Cherry MX-series of the type you like and laser-etched keycaps and you will have a keyboard that will last an exceptionally long time. Probably longer than the contact-standard...
I choose Q-pad MK-85 with Cherry MX brown simply because I could order it in any Cherry-type switch I preferred. Very few others offer this choice. And in my mind it is not expensive for what it offers.
Forget being cheap on the keyboard. The longevity of a good quality "somewhat" expensive keyboard really makes it more cost effective than most other keyboards.
But please bear in mind that although a logitech top gaming keyboard is expensive it is still crap keyboards with attached useless trinkets. Don't pay for that. Pay for quality.
I was thinking price range of 35-50 or so as 'not outrageously expensive'.
I did see a couple of Das boards when I did some cursory looking this morning; I'll look further at those.
I have had a couple of illuminated boards - the sleek Logitech one has coated keys and the paint started chipping off pretty fast on it while the Saitek did as well, though at a much slower rate.
I just tried my older EluminX and although it lit up nothing happened when I tried typing.
This should still be laser etched. Excellent for typing. Not so good for gaming (can't hold down enough concurrent keys).

Do you mean the Logitech Illuminated board? I have had one for 5 years now and it's still like new. I think the letters are translucent so you can see the light through them, so I'm not sure that would just wear away.
I recall it was roughly $100 new.

The only way dye sublimation is going to wear out is if you take an orbital sander to it.
(I know a lot of what I'm writing has been mentioned by others in this thread, but I'm going to post this as a means of consolidating all the information).
There are several types of keycaps that are non-pad printed (the ones you hate):
1. Laser-etched. I think these exist. I'm not sure. IIRC, and if I'm right, they literally burn the keycaps with a laser, which forms the letters from the burns.
2. Laser-engraved. Similar to laser-etched, but they, in this kind, literally carve out the letters in the keycaps. The bad thing about these is, there is no coloration, so the etching can only be seen in very specific lighting/angles.
3. Double-shots. These are the heavy duty keycaps, which are now rarely seen, nor made. These were popular, IIRC, back when Cherry Corp (makers of the now famous Cherry MX switches), were more into making their own keyboards. Nowadays, while they still do make keyboards, they are mostly suppliers of their Cherry MX switches.
But, back to the double-shots. They are basically keycaps made from two plastic parts, to make up one mold (I don't know if that makes sense). So basically, one plastic will form the letter, while another plastic will be the actual key that the first plastic letter will go into. This is basically the bee's knees, when it comes to preventing wear. Because the actual plastic is the letter. You need to wear down the plastic to wear down the letter... which... someone will do to a certain degree, but it's very unlikely it'll happen to the point where someone wears down the entire key.
4. Dye-subliminated. As someone else mentioned, this is when a manufacturer dyes the actual plastic to form the letter. The effect is similar to double-shots, in that the actual plastic is the letter, but it's not quite as great, since... well... it's just one solid piece of plastic. Not two plastic pieces making one.
And then there are different types of plastics that you get these kinds of keycaps in: ABS, POM, or PBT.
Now, these keycaps, as far as I know, aren't available in keyboards you see on retail shelves. They are mostly available on niche-market mechanical keyboards, which are available online, or available as separate keycap sets, from special orders.
Now, it will take a whole lot of text and space to go into detail, which kinds of keyboards, these keycaps are available for. There is a forum dedicated to such mechanical keyboards, here. It has a lot of information on what kinds of keycaps, mechanical keyboards you can buy. Best of luck with your search.
Edit: I just realized the OP was asking for the actual keyboards themselves, and not just the keycaps. D'oh!
A simpleton (me) alternative is to find a tolerable cheap keyboard and simply replace it when needed. How much typing does it take to wear out a keyboard, or how long are we talkin here? I type a decent amount, and on my laptops/desktop keyboards it takes me about 2 years to damage say the space bar (about 6 months to polish it shiny with my right thumb).
So I'm not mocking the issue, I get that some folks will type enough to kill a keyboard, but if one can get past the disposable keyboard feeling, I'd consider just replacing the keyboard frequently.
The other alternative (if you're a touch typist with deep pockets), get a Das ultimate model S, there are no labels on the key. As for the backlit ones ending up in blobs of light, i can definitely relate. My Mionix zibal 60 is suffering form that, but Mionix was kind enough to acknowledge there was an issue with the batch my keyboard came from and they sent me replacement keycaps. I'll wear off the original to death and then replace them with the like new ones i received.

Have you considered wearing latex gloves while you type?
You could get a bulletproof oldschool IBM keyboard and use a proper USB adapter.
These work for me:

The Issue: How the bus strike led by Amalgamated Transit Union affects children in New York City.
Thank you to The Post for publishing this column ("A Taste of the Future," John Podhoretz, PostOpinion, Jan. 18).
The public is in your debt. Too bad more people will not stand up to lawless thuggery.
Dierdre A. Burgman
Five-year-old little Bruno Wallace on your front cover is absolutely adorable, but his frustration shows through ("Bustards," Jan. 17).
Some days, I feel just like him — too little and too weak to do anything about my frustrations, but flexing my muscles anyway.
May the strike end soon so that Bruno and all the kids can get back to school. May the folks in New York City and around our nation finally realize that unions hold our cities hostage.
This should not be allowed. Fire the striking union members and hire new drivers.
There are plenty of qualified folks out of work in President Obama's economy to take their places.

Clinical Research: Trials & Tribulations
Tapping into social, mobile or cloud-based technologies may take some getting used to for clinical investigators. But for a drug industry that needs to trim the time and cost of R&D, these approaches may bear a closer look. Joe Dysart reports
Clinical researchers are finding that some of the same technology revolutionizing everyday life—social media, mobile computing and cloud computing—is poised to completely transform the way clinical trials are performed.
With social media, clinical researchers are partnering with pre-established social networks of health-conscious patients to recruit those patients for studies much more quickly—and at significantly lower cost.
Meanwhile, those using mobile and remote-sensing technologies are securing data from patients on a 24/7 basis, yielding data sets that heretofore were simply unattainable utilizing conventional methods.
And investigators leaping to the cloud are finding services designed to automate every step of the record-keeping process, freeing them to spend more time on scientific inquiry—and less on paperwork.
At eight-year-old social network PatientsLikeMe, for example, co-founder Jamie Heywood has put together a community of 170,000+ patients who regularly visit his website to trade insights on living with their diseases, pick up the latest health news, and connect with doctors and scientists who specialize in their conditions. "It's difficult for patients to find trials, and for investigators to find patients," Heywood says. "We can easily help solve both these problems."
PLM facilitates those connections by trolling for info everyday about new clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov. Members with the appropriate conditions are alerted about their eligibility for those new trials. Given that more than 1,500 diseases are represented across the PLM membership, the potential match of patient to trial is enormous. For clinical researchers facing recruitment deadlines, Heywood's firm also offers a paid service, which researchers can use to personally reach out to patients on the social network.
The upshot: Heywood says PLM can shave as much as two months off the typical amount of time it takes a researcher to populate a clinical trial as compared to conventional recruitment methods.
Plus, Heywood says the patients researchers recruited on his social network are among the most ideal for clinical trials. "Our members are already engaged and activated," about their health, he says.
Besides turning the heads of more than a few researchers, Heywood also snagged a $1.9-million grant in February from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. He'll use it to create a social-networking platform where patients and researchers can interact to pilot, deploy, share and validate new ways to study diseases.
Meanwhile, over at drug-development firm Transparency Life Sciences, CEO Dr. Tomasz Sablinski is busy re-engineering the way clinical researchers gather data, by evaluating the mobile and/or remote-sensing devices that can be used in a virtual clinical trial.
Sablinski says he plans to use the tech to remotely monitor patient vitals in a Q3 study that will evaluate a treatment for multiple sclerosis. Other studies by TLS—and expanded use of other remote-sensing technologies—will follow, he says.
Essentially, by outfitting patients with remote-sensing technology that monitors vitals 24/7, Sablinski says he'll be able to generate much more data for his company—as well as data that he says will be much more accurate.
The remote-sensing tech will also reap savings in time and money for researcher and patient, according to Sablinski. For example, instead of having to drive to a clinical trial office for a mobility test, patients in the MS study will take the test at home using a GPS device.
The technology will enable TLS to secure much more detailed data on patient mobility, Sablinski says, since the GPS device can conceivably be worn continuously by subjects for up to six weeks. Using conventional methods, such as in-office visits, a clinical researcher simply cannot achieve a similar depth of data, Sablinski says.
There is virtually no limit to what researchers can measure with remote sensing, Sablinski adds. Body temperature, breathing, hydration, optometrics—including color recognition—can all be assessed remotely. "There are hundreds of devices available," he says.
The savings—and increased accuracy—in sleep research alone should open minds. "A night at a sleep lab runs $1,500," he notes, and features a subject who is thrust into a foreign environment, riddled with wired sensors, and then encouraged, 'Have a nice sleep now.'" The remote-sensing alternative—the use of a non-intrusive device, attached to a subject who has become accustomed to wearing the technology days before the study begins—seems much more efficient, and much more accurate, Sablinski says.
Finally, new directions in clinical trial data management are afoot at Veeva Systems, which has partnered with Medidata to offer a cloud-based solution that streamlines and automates data management for any clinical trial. The heart of the system is Veeva's Vault eTMF—an electronic Trial Master File application, which enables researchers to quickly file all documents associated with a clinical trial—and check on the status of those docs at any time.
"Clinical researchers are constantly asked for status reports and updates like, 'Where are we with the eTMF?'" says Michael Burton, a director of product strategy at Veeva. "With this technology, everyone can see the same eTMF and the same reports. So researchers don't have to waste their time answering requests for status updates."
The system is also designed to be user-friendly, and guide researchers through the filing process to help ensure all necessary documents are filed accurately, and on time, Burton says.
By partnering with Medidata, a cloud services provider, Veeva is able to maintain the Vault eTMF in the cloud. That offers all the efficiencies cloud apps are now famous for—including the ability for Veeva to auto-update its software for clinical researchers.
Medidata also brings its own suite of applications to the partnership that clinical researchers can use, including apps for study and protocol design, trial planning and budgeting, site negotiation, trial management, randomization and trial supply management, medical coding to business analytics, and more, Burton says.
"By providing all the applications from a single vendor—and as part of a shared platform—Medidata can remove many system compatibility issues and data sharing challenges," Burton says.
And all the integration helps automate document filing and maintenance. For example, reports from Medidata's other trial-management tools are all auto-filled into the eTMF, Burton says.
For many clinical researchers, the idea of using the same technology the masses use to stay in touch on Facebook, remind Grandma to take her pill, or back up songs on iTunes, takes some getting used to.But for Sablinski, the migration is inevitable. "For most people in R&D, it's difficult to change," Sablinski says. "They're still stuck in the eighties in terms of how they do research. We believe technology should drive the process—and will."

Healthcare Reform: What Just Happened?
Now for most of us political junkies, the healthcare battle and its coverage has been a long, wild and riveting ride. However, my guess is that while everybody has heard the political chattering that has formed a media backdrop for the past year now, most Americans woke up on March 22nd to the passing of the Senate's healthcare bill with a feeling of, "Wait, what just happened?"
That's not to say that nobody was paying any attention, but it was just the nature of this debate that even when Joe Six-Pack tuned in, he didn't feel like he knew what was going on. So for those of you that are just concerned with how all of this affects you, feel free to skip to the bottom of this post. For everyone else that wants to know what the heck just happened, read on.
First of all, (obviously) President Obama wanted to pass healthcare reform. However, he had been doing some reading and didn't want to get jammed up like Clinton had when he pushed for reform. So instead of crafting his own plan and then trying to convince Congress of its worthiness, he told the House and Senate to work it out themselves, and figured they'd be more likely to pass something they had created. Different drafts immediately started bubbling up across Capitol Hill.
Unfortunately, the downside to this approach was that there was no single bill to promote, analyze, or defend from criticism. Opponents picked up steam, making a sweeping range of accusations about "Obamacare" that could not be easily proven or refuted since no one knew which ideas might make it into a final bill. Eventually two bills emerged: one in the House and one in the Senate. The process of negotiating, debating, renegotiating, changing, and re-debating the bills took months. All that was left was for one of the chambers to approve the bill passed by the other.
That's where things got hairy. The plan was to have the Senate pass the House version, but then Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) won an unexpected victory in a special election, putting Democrats short of the 60 votes they would need to stop a filibuster in the Senate. There were no longer enough votes in the Senate to pass the House bill, nor were there enough supporters in the House to pass the Senate bill. Voices in the media began to declare healthcare reform "derailed" and Republicans rejoiced.
However the story, as we know, wasn't over. You see, usually legislation is created in one chamber of Congress and then sent to the other to be passed and the President signs it. Period. However, congressmen can also create a bill that changes spending, tax, or debt-related provisions of an earlier piece of legislation, which has to then be approved by both chambers. This process is called budget reconciliation or just "reconciliation" for short.
The only reason that's important is that reconciliation bills only require a majority vote in the Senate. So an idea started brewing in the minds of pro-reform Democrats: what if we could merge parts of both bills together through reconciliation and have the amended bill pass the Senate without worrying about a filibuster? That turned out to be overreaching – the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that reconciliation can only be applied to bills already signed into law.
So Democratic leadership came up with a more precarious idea: what if the House writes up some reconciliation changes that would fix the unloved parts of the Senate bill and then agrees to pass the bill as long as the Senate agrees to pass the fixes? Such a plan was possible, but difficult, not least because the members of the House and Senate don't particularly trust each other. Also, changes were strictly limited to matters affecting the budget (eggheads: see Byrd Rule).
By this point, conservative politicians and commentators had been viciously reprimanding Democrats for considering using reconciliation, which they dubbed a "parliamentary trick," even though it had been used twenty-two times previously, and more often by Republicans than Democrats. In fact, Republicans used reconciliation to pass both rounds of Bush tax cuts.
In the end, Dems decided to put all their chips on reconciliation and go balls to the wall. Nancy Pelosi and President Obama started rounding up supporters like it was rodeo day at the D.C. Corral. Most Democrats who voted for the original House bill were still game for the deal on the Senate bill, but there were three big sticking points: the public option, abortion funding, and total cost.
Unlike the House bill, the Senate version would not establish a "public option," and some liberal Democrats were loath to vote for a bill without one. The Senate bill was also more ambiguous about federal funding for abortions, so eight pro-life Dems, led by Rep. Stupak (D-MI), revolted against it. Lastly, a number of Democrats were heeding the increasing public concern over the federal debt, and were waiting to hear the CBO's budget analysis of the reconciliation package.
One at a time, these groups fell in line. Obama and Pelosi managed to convince some public option proponents that imperfect reform was better than no reform at all. The CBO finally released its analysis, which said that the reform would cost a ton, but would increase revenue and reduce yearly costs by a greater amount, thus assuaging many fears of a deficit increase. Then, on March 21st just hours before the House was set to vote, Rep. Stupak and some of his fellow pro-life holdouts announced that they had struck a deal and would now be voting "yes." President Obama had promised them that he would issue an executive order strictly asserting that previous abortion funding restrictions would extend to the new law. The bill passed the House by 219 to 212 votes and was sent to Obama's desk to be signed.
The final hurdle was getting the reconciliation fixes passed in the Senate. Although Republicans had vowed to add unlimited amendments to indefinitely delay the process, they seemed to settle for finding two small flaws in the package that violated reconciliation rules. That forced the Senate to remove the violations, pass the bill, and send it back to the House again. The House quickly re-passed the reconciliation bill on Friday, March 26th, and in one whiplash week, the saga had ended.
So I hope that clears up some of what just happened. Of course, I didn't get a chance to explain what is actually in the bill, but there are plenty of people already doing that. So here are some links to places that can explain how reform will affect you:

More Reliable: Horizontal vs. Sloped Trendlines?
Over the past several years, charts have become more pervasive than ever in discussions, commentaries and prognostications about individual stocks and the market in general. Even Cramer, who once considered technicians to be on the same level as astrologers or readers of tea leaves, no regularly refers to the analysis of one chartist or another.
One of my pet peeves, however, is that bloggers and media talking heads will insert trendlines in their discussions almost willy-nilly as they pontificate about the support or resistance they hope the line they drew will presumably offered them. Because the use of trendlines is so prevalent, it's assumed that everyone understands their meaning and relevance; we rarely hear about the arbitrariness and subjectivity that goes into their selection.
Last week, I offered three examples of head-and-shoulders patterns (GLD, AAPL and FDX), each demarcated by a horizontal trendline, or the pattern's "neckline". [As an interesting aside, I may have been one of the first to publish an alert about the possibility of AAPL forming a head-and-shoulder top which could result in a correction down to approximately 400 in my November 8 post, "AAPL Gets a Cold, the Market Gets …..?" Now many are commenting about it and Cramer even had a segment tonight dismissing the stocks technical risks.] What makes the head-and-shoulder such a "reliable" (if you allow me to use that term in the context of something so subjective as the reading of stock charts) pattern is that the supporting trendline is horizontal. I've seen sloping necklines but these never turn out to be as recognizable nor as accurate.
As I describe in my book, Run with the Herd,
What makes trendlines so confusing is that many trendlines that seemed so precise at first may lose their potency as new trading is tacked on. As a matter of fact, as more transaction data over longer and longer periods of time with multiple trading days condensed into individual bars, you'll usually find yourself drawing a plethora of trendlines. Some trendlines are short and some long, some connect pivot points that once seemed compelling and inviolate become less significant and even irrelevant when viewed in a longer-term. The support or resistance expectations implicit in short trendlines at one may become overwhelmed and irrelevant as more recent buying and selling emerges.
Trendlines are nothing more than an arbitrary, imaginary lines that visually connect two or more pivot points. Pivot points are those spaces in time and price where control is transfers between buyers and sellers, when one trend in one direction reverses and begins moving in the opposite direction. In reality, this transfer doesn't occur in one transaction at one price but instead occur over a period of time, a large number of trades at a range of prices. There's no precise way of locating when that transfer is complete and the struggle continue even when a reversal appears to be complete.
Why is it important to locate these pivots? Because we believe that after having occurred several times at approximately the same point, the failure to occur at that same level sometime in the future means that the winner of the last battle has lost control of the trend and it now resides in the other side who will control the trend until the next struggle begins. That transfer of control is the breakout.
Repetitive struggles at the same price make intuitive sense. An institutional investor looking to sell its large holding in a stock will continue to do so as long as a stock's price is above a certain level; when it drops to or below the level they hold their shares back from the market; they will continue to accumulate shares up to a certain price but not above that price. But what can we say the same thing about pivot points at different levels? Bottom line, they tell us little about what we can expect about where the next pivot might be and we can say little about whether that recent pivot is the beginning of a reversal or the continuation of a trend.
The above chart for LKQ presents a pretty channel but it offers little information about the risks of the trend failing, how much profit potential remains in the channel trend or when it might collapse. It is easy to draw the channel trendlines after the fact but drawing those lines in 2010 would have produced the dotted trendlines. Which more accurately defines the trend, the solid or dotted lines. Is the stock currently within the trend boundary or is it outside the bounds and bound to correct. The most common mistake when inserting trendlines is thinking that the recent pivot is critical in establishing a meaningful trendline. In other words, trendlines are usually discovered within the time frames of the chart, rarely coming in from prior the chart's beginning. That's why I always simultaneously look at a charts in three time horizons.
That error doesn't occur when you look for breakouts across horizontal trendlines like this one for NEOG. Is there any doubt that a cross above 48.00 indicates that the bears have lost control to the bulls who have launched a new push to higher stock prices?

For a while it looked like Leela Wood wouldn't make it to her first day of school at West Street Elementary School, but Wednesday her great-grandfather stepped in to help.
Michael Zimmerman and his fiancée, Emily, discovered that while the Niagara-Wheatfield school bus would stop at their home, it wouldn't stop at the Bunny Bunch day care center Leela attends while they go to work.
"Just the fact that we have to make an elderly man do this makes me mad," said Zimmerman, who has sought an exception to the school bus zone. "My fiancée talked to the superintendent and was left in tears Friday."
Zimmerman explained that the Bunny Bunch opens at 6 a.m., which fits their work needs, while other day care centers in their attendance zone where busing is provided open at 6:30 a.m. Leela's day care center also is closer to the school than their home.
Dr. Lynn Fusco, Niagara-Wheatfield's new superintendent, said she couldn't specifically discuss Leela's case due to privacy rules. She explained that transportation for students is based on each elementary school's attendance zone. Busing will be provided to alternate locations within the attendance zone only.
The policy was established "so we don't have buses going all over the place," she said noting that creating attendance zones is one of the ways the school district controls its costs for transportation.
She said the district has been trying to be as helpful as they can and come up with alternatives. Their goal is not to frustrate people.
"It is challenging. I understand that," she said. "Once you start making exceptions, then you don't have a policy."
School mornings are stressful for the Zimmerman family. Currently, the couple drives Leela to her great-grandfather's house and he later drives her to school. They drop their younger child at day care, then Emily is dropped off at work and Zimmerman goes to his own job.
"Everyone keeps citing policy to me over and over. It's not a law! Make an exception," Zimmerman argued. "If your child goes to a registered day care in district lines they will be picked up. If that opens floodgates of parents needing help also, then the policy is wrong, and you need to listen to them and change it. If you make this exception and nobody else steps forward then what exactly is the problem?"

Carbonate Formation in the Samail Ophiolite, Oman: A Case Study for CO2 Sequestration Through Alteration of Mantle Peridotites
AbstractIn the last few years, considerable attention has been focused on carbon capture and storage to mitigate anthropogenic input to atmospheric CO2. One proposed option for mitigation is to increase conversion of CO2 gas to stable, solid carbonate minerals during alteration of tectonically exposed mantle rock (or peridotite).
While natural carbonation of subaerial and submarine peridotite is commonly observed, its rate, and therefore the rate of CO2 uptake via this alteration mechanism, is poorly known. Determining the natural rate of peridotite carbonation is critical for understanding the influence of this potentially important 'sink' in the global carbon cycle. The natural peridotite carbonation rate is also an essential, but poorly constrained, parameter in calculations evaluating the viability of using artificially-enhanced, in situ alteration of peridotite to mitigate the buildup of anthropogenic input to atmospheric CO2.
The goal of the proposed research is to determine the natural rate of carbonation of peridotite in the Samail Ophiolite, Oman – one of the largest and best-exposed ophiolites in the world. We will use a combination of field mapping to obtain alteration volume estimates, radiogenic dating to determine carbonate formation ages, and cosmogenic dating to determine carbonate (and ultramafic bedrock) weathering rates in the ultramafic layer of the ophiolite. This will enable us to quantify the residence time of carbon in three types of carbonate alteration products (veins, travertine deposits, carbonate-rich cements) forming in the ophiolite. We will determine the ages of carbonates using two independent radiogenic dating techniques: 14C (for carbonates as old as ~50,000 years) and 238U-230Th (for carbonates as old as ~350,000 years). This will provide a powerful approach to de-convolving the effects of open-system behavior. In addition, we will determine weathering rates for both the carbonates and the host ultramafic bedrock by cosmogenic dating of exposed surfaces. We will use 36Cl to date carbonate weathering surfaces and 3He to date ultramafic weathering surfaces. Combining volume estim ates from field mapping with the radiogenic ages of the carbonate alteration will allow us to determine natural rates of carbonate formation in the ophiolite.
This project constitutes the Ph.D. thesis research for MIT/WHOI Joint Program student Evelyn Mervine – the funds requested are to cover the radiogenic and cosmogenic dating of samples. This proposal is relevant to the new DOEI theme: "Role of the Deep Earth and Ocean in Elemental Cycles" because it addresses carbon cycling and storage in deep Earth (mantle) rocks exposed at Earth's surface. Peridotites similar to those found in Oman are known to be exposed along the global mid-ocean ridge system, particularly at slow and ultraslow spreading ridges. Seawater circulation through seafloor peridotites gives rise to pervasive carbonate veining as well as extensive seafloor carbonate deposits, such as those seen at the Lost City hydrothermal site. However, finding and sampling these exposures is expensive and challenging. Studying carbonate formation in oceanic peridotites that have been uplifted onto land provides an excellent analog for carbonate formation in peridotites on the seafloor and a case study for their potential for carbon sequestration.

Question: Baking beignets?
January 15, 2011
There are various recipes over the internet for baked beignets. There are baked doughnuts- that are still considered doughnuts.
There will be a different taste and texture, but you may find it just as good.
Beignets are AWESOME!!! You will definately need a deep fryer or hot oil and a cany thermometer, though, becuase they are deep fried. I like Emeril's recipes that I got with my deep fryer...they taste amazing every time. I just roll out the dough and cut them in irregular squares, rectangles and triangles and they turn out golden brown, puffy, and delicious.
January 17, 2011
Having had the real "McCoy" in New Orleans I can't even envisage the idea of baking beignet dough. You will surely have a different product no matter what anyone says! The DNA is the same but you'll just have nicely baked raised yeast bread. A classic beignet is deep fried light yeast dough; baking it is an adulteration of taste, texture and eye appeal. Some advocate that baking the dough is healthy alternative due to the lack of oil useage. But is it? If you deep fry the beignet at a minimum of 325 F in vegetable, corn or peanut oil very little oil will be absorbed and hence the total calorie content will be similar to the baked. For a few extra calories I'd hate to sacrifice the great taste of lightly sugared New Orleans beignet. Bon Apetite!

Syracuse rallies for 72-65 win over UNC-Asheville, avoids being first No. 1 to lose to 16
PITTSBURGH (AP) ' Syracuse had a lot bigger problems than missing its starting center.
The Orange were staring at NCAA tournament history. A No. 1 seed has never lost to a No. 16 seed, and they were trailing North Carolina-Asheville with just over 6 minutes to play.
Led by reserve forward James Southerland, Syracuse rallied for a 72-65 victory over the Bulldogs on Thursday in the second round of the East Regional.
The sellout crowd of 18,927' except for those wearing Orange ' were solidly behind the underdogs throughout the second half and they were irate over the final 2 minutes with calls that went against the Bulldogs.
Syracuse, which won the national championship in 2003, had already made negative history in the tournament, becoming the first No. 2 seed to lose to a 15 when it fell 73-69 to Richmond in 1991.
The Orange managed to avoid adding another black mark by holding Asheville to one field goal over the final minute while they went 6 of 7 from the free throw line.
Syracuse (32-2) will play eighth-seeded Kansas State in the third round on Saturday at the Consol Energy Center. The Wildcats beat Southern Mississippi 70-64.
The Bulldogs (24-10), who had talked Wednesday of becoming the first 16 seed to beat a No. 1, were led by J.P. Primm's 18 points.
They led 34-30 at halftime ' the third 16 to do that ' but the Orange took the lead for good with 6:17 left on a turnaround jumper by Southerland.
The Bulldogs got within three points three times in the final 1:04 but could get no closer as Syracuse made its free throws and the officials made a couple of controversial calls.
Southerland had 15 points and a season-high eight rebounds for the Orange, who finished 5 of 23 from 3-point range, including missing 17 of their first 20 from behind the arc.
The first call that caused the crowd to react was a lane violation with 1:20 left. Scoop Jardine of Syracuse missed the front end of a 1-and-1 but Asheville was called for entering the lane too soon. Jardine got to shoot the front end again, made it, and made the second for a 64-58 lead.
With 35 seconds left and the Orange leading 66-63, the ball appeared to go out of bounds off Syracuse's Brandon Triche but the officials pointed the other way and gave it to the Orange. Jardine made two free throws a second later for a 68-63 lead.
Coordinator of Officiating John Adams said he would have given the ball to UNC Asheville on the inbounds play.
Inexplicably the Orange kept shooting 3-pointers and missing. Despite having a huge height advantage ' Asheville's talllest starter was 6-foot-5, bigger only than the Syracuse guards ' the Orange kept taking 3s against the Bulldogs' 2-3 zone, which isn't as well known as the one Syracuse has played for decades but was just as effective Thursday.
The height advantage didn't do much for the Orange as far as rebounding went either as they had 33, one more than the Bulldogs. Then again, Syracuse was outrebounded by its opponents for the season.
Kris Joseph and Dion Waiters both had 12 points for Syracuse, which played its fourth game this season without the 7-foot Melo, the Big East defensive player of the year who missed three games in January over academic issues. The Orange are 3-1 without him.
Jaron Lane added 16 points and Jeremy Atkinson had 12 for the Bulldogs, whose leading scorer, Matt Dickey, went 1 for 13 from the field, 1 of 9 from 3. Asheville went 9 of 23 from beyond the arc.
It was the third time a 16th seed led a No. 1 at halftime. Fairfield was ahead of North Carolina 35-28 in 1997, and Holy Cross led Kansas 37-35 in 2002. The Tar Heels went on to win 82-74 and the Jayhawks won 70-59.
There have been two one-point wins by No. 1s over 16s ' Georgetown over Princeton and Oklahoma over East Tennessee State, both in 1989. And there was one two-point game ' Purdue over Western Carolina in 1996 ' and one that went overtime ' Michigan State 75-71 over Murray State in 1990.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim earned his 46th win in the NCAA tournament, breaking a tie with Bob Knight for seventh on the career list.

Trumbull passes budget for 2014-15
TRUMBULL -- The Town Council has passed a $156.8 million 2014-15 budget, slightly higher than the one recommended by the Board of Finance.
Among the increases was $135,000 to the Board of Education's $95 million budget. That amount, however, was much lower than the $697,500 cut made by the BOF to First Selectman Tim Herbst's education appropriation.
The first selectman's budget, in turn, had already reduced Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gary Cialfi's requested allotment.
"Look, we're going to make this work," Herbst said after the meeting. "Dr. Cialfi and I and the Board of Education are going to make this work."
More InformationTown Council Budget Vote
The 2014-15 budget stands at $156,787,466, which represents a 2.97 percent increase over last year.
The Town Council reinstated $135,000 to the Board of Education's budget, which would cover the cost of a technology specialist and a social worker. That amount is still less than the $697,500 cut by the Board of Finance.
The new education budget is $94.99 million or $666,354 less than requested by Dr. Gary Cialfi, superintendent of schools.
Councilwoman Cindy Penkoff, R-2, said she doesn't believe the board needs the additional funds, especially considering the school board was set to vote Wednesday on whether to reduce its teaching staff for the following school year because of a decline in enrollment.
Penkoff said the $135,000 would cover the cost of a technology specialist and a social worker.
I consider these things to be vital," she said. "Anything else I consider to be curricular."
An effort to reinstate the entire $697,500 was quickly voted down.
The council's vote angered many of the roughly 35 people in the audience. Scott Kokosa said he is worried the decreases will cause his children to lose their teachers at Middlebrook Elementary School in layoffs.
"Both of my kids' teachers are on the short list," he said. "I moved to this town for education, period. As long as I live here, I want the education to be the best in Connecticut."
Amanda Wendt said after 15 years of living in town, she is starting to have buyer's remorse.
"They're looking at a lot of short-term benefits, not long-term," she said.
The overall town budget will increase about 3 percent over last year's $152.3 million figure, meaning property owners will see an increase in their tax bills to cover the expenses. Much of the increase is due to the town's debt service and pension obligations.
But unlike in other municipalities, officials here could not say how much the tax increase would be for the average homeowner. Herbst and Finance Director Maria Pires said they would not know until May when they have a better idea what revenues will be available.
Other minor adjustments were made to the budget Tuesday, including the addition of a $5,000 match to an appropriation to study ways to improve safety conditions at the Rails to Trails crossing on Route 111.
Not changed was the Board of Finance's decision to remove $200,000 from the public safety budget for what Herbst had hoped would be a new school security officer program. Council members, like the finance members, wanted to see a plan in place before allotting any funds for that purpose.
The council also left unchanged finance's decision to reduce the allotment for a property revaluation by $175,000 pending a decision from the Legislature on a bill that would allow municipalities to delay the process.
The city of Bridgeport also counts on the passage of the bill in its 2014-15 budget, now before its City Council.

Hard to disagree more. Aside from Lupul, the Leafs have been a healthy all year. The Nucks have not, to put it mildly. If these two teams faced each other in a 10 game series the Nucks are massive favourites. Not to say the Leafs aren't a solid team, but they are not all that close to the Nucks.Tiger wrote:If the Leafs get more points than the Canucks they will have proven they are the better team.. They play a lot tougher schedule in a much tougher division.. Do I think either team is a contender ? NO.. The Canucks just don't have the " fire in the belly" and the Leafs don't have the talent.. The last nucks game was a display of "the Union game - show up but do as little as possible"? UK Canuck must be proud of them .. Maybe the Leafs are a bit hungrier? The last player in a Canucks uniform who displayed that "fire" was Kesler and thats a few years ago now..Yeah I am a Canucks fan but just cancelled my ticket back from Thailand.. This years edition of the Canucks isn't going to the SC finals . If they get shithouse luck and great goaltending they may win the first round .
I still love everyone overlooking the Nucks this year - dont really care what everyone says, I'll just watch the games.

via Teyana Taylor Instagram
By Sowmya Krishnamurthy
G.O.O.D. Music's Teyana Taylor has recreated Janet Jackson's infamous topless pose from the cover of Rolling Stone in 1993. Teyana's in-color rendition features the rapper/singer in denim cutoff shorts and stockings, being held from behind by a pair of unidentified man's hands.
The photo was taken by actor Lance Gross, The YBF shares.
Art is often controversial and fans were less than thrilled by the photographic homage on Twitter. "I give her an "E" for effort" said one while another tweeted, "Who told Teyana Taylor to recreate anything? I don't have time!"
Earlier this summer, MTV News caught up with Taylor after she'd officially signed her new deal with Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music imprint. "This is the second go 'round for me, and hopefully, the second time's the charm," the 21-year-old shared. "I signed to Star Trak with Pharrell when I was 15, and now I'm at a new chapter in my life where I'm signed to G.O.O.D. Music, and I'm blessed and happy to be part of the team." Being affiliated with the buzzy collective has increased her own work ethic. "Being signed to G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam has opened more doors now that I finally have a team behind me that can push me to work harder," she said.
Taylor has already recorded her tracks for the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation album slated for this fall. She mused that the experience was similar to working on Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. "Recording 'Dark Fantasy' and recording the G.O.O.D. Music album were both crazy," she said. "When we did 'Dark Fantasy,' the album had to be turned in in three hours, so that was a song that we made happen so last minute, which happened to be the first song on the album, so that was very exciting."

Chicago's first gay boutique hotel may be checking in to Boystown.
Modeled after The Out NYC—which opened in March 2012 and is Gotham's first "straight-friendly urban resort"—The Out Chicago would be built and developed along the 3300 North block of Halsted, according to a proposal issued by Parkview Developers.
The Out Chicago concept includes a 100-room hotel that could incorporate the existing Minibar space, which is somewhat fitting as Minibar is known as a Boystown hot spot with an urban, hotel lounge environment. The proposed multi-level complex would be constructed adjacent to Sidetrack, with lobby access to the popular video bar, and would include a fully enclosed glass courtyard for events (weddings, performances, etc.), a restaurant/café, "bOUTique" (retail), and a spa/gym/wellness center.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Actress Paula Patton announced today that she and singer Robin Thicke have decided to end their marriage.
The pair met twenty-two years ago at an underage LA club, and have been married for the past nine years. Their son, Julian Fuego Thicke, was born in April 2010.
Several rumors of Thicke's infidelity have surfaced during the marriage, despite Patton's outward show of solidarity and Thicke's claim that theirs is the "greatest love of the century."
Thicke has said he doesn't think he would "still be alive" without Patton, theirs is also the "most functional and dysfunctional marriage in Hollywood."
In her announcement to PEOPLE today, Patton said that she and Thicke "will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."

You're Out
The national pastime's shocking death toll.
I caught a foul ball once. Sort of. It was in the fall of 1998, at Coors Field in Denver, and I was sitting on the third-base side. The ball blazed over my head, then thudded into a woman's left breast a few rows back. A second later, it shot out from under my seat and rolled into my foot, as though it had just finished a trip through the interior of a miniature golf course obstacle. I reached down and picked it up.
I did the whole ecstatic exercise. I held the ball over my head. I turned right, then left, showing off my trophy. Then I caught sight of the woman behind me. A small crowd of loved ones and wincing strangers had huddled around her. I decided the only gentlemanly thing to do was to toss her the ball. But I had to wait a moment, until she straightened up and stopped moaning.
The typical baseball game sends 35 to 40 of these projectiles into the stands, some of them rocketing in at upward of 100 miles per hour. But it was a nice night for baseball in Denver, and so, for five or six more innings, even as the foul balls kept being popped, poked, lined, and ripped into the seats around me, I just sat there, blanketed by all the warm feelings our national pastime inspires. Even then, it never occurred to me that, as the introduction to a strange recent book puts it, "baseball is sometimes lethal."
Death at the Ballpark: A Comprehensive Study of Game-Related Fatalities, 1862-2007 is an impeccably sourced compendium of the men, women, and children who have died or been fatally injured while playing, officiating, or watching baseball in the United States. Its authors, Robert M. Gorman and David Weeks, two librarians and baseball historians at Winthrop University in South Carolina, have spent the last eight years scouring local-newspaper archives (sample search terms: "baseball and death" and "baseball and killed") for examples, in some cases going so far as to track down death certificates to confirm their results.
Given the fetish for statistics in baseball, it was probably inevitable that someone would get around to recording this, too: the number of people baseball has rendered incapable of generating more statistics. Gorman told me he was drawn into this morbid line of research after stumbling across the death of a minor leaguer named Herb Gorman. ("He had my last name. It kind of piqued my interest.") Neither Gorman nor Weeks had ever really thought about baseball as a deadly activity before, and, Gorman told me, after publishing two preliminary articles—one on beaning fatalities and another on fan fatalities at major league stadiums—"we thought maybe we'd exhausted whatever was out there." They were very wrong. They chronicled 850 baseball deaths in Death at the Ballpark, spanning professional, amateur, Little League, and even backyard pickup games. And though the book purports to be comprehensive, readers have already tipped them off to about 50 incidents they missed.
The authors say their aim was to "raise awareness" about baseball's many dangers, but there aren't any recommendations for making the sport safer here, no real signs of impassioned outrage, and no warnings to suburban parents about aluminum bats. Death at the Ballpark is fundamentally a reference book—a list carefully organized into categories like "Thrown Ball Fatalities, Amateur Fatalities—Position Players" and "Thrown Ball Fatalities, Amateur Fatalities—Baserunners." Often, however, the authors pause for a half-page to narrate a death in noirlike detail. The opening paragraph of one entry ominously begins, "Patrick J. McTavey, 38, worked home plate during a heated semipro championship game on Long Island, NY, on September 26, 1927," and ends: "It was the last call he ever made."
It's weirdly moving, if not exactly consoling, to learn just how many of baseball's casualties made the play before expiring. There's the amateur shortstop who, in 1902, caught a bad hop in the throat and used his last moments to throw out the runner at first. The third baseman in an Indiana league who, in 1909, tagged out the runner plowing headfirst into his gut, then succumbed to the resulting internal injuries three days later. There's just something about baseball that inspires a kind of heroic resolve. John McSherry, the major league umpire who collapsed at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium in 1996, had actually postponed treatment for the heart condition that felled him so he could call the game. * It was Opening Day.
All the old romantic baseball tropes turn up again and again in Death at the Ballpark. But the effect is haunting, since here each is mercilessly punctuated with a death. There's the aging minor leaguer, battling his way back to the majors after a couple of stints in the show—except that Millard Fillmore "Dixie" Howell, who played in the White Sox farm system in the '50s, never gets called up again and dies of a heart attack instead. A few incidents are such ruthless perversions of our shared baseball idylls that it's as if Roman Polanski had recut Field of Dreams. One July night in a backyard in Houston in 1950, a 7-year-old boy asks if he can throw his dad one more pitch before heading inside. The father says OK. The son pitches. Then the father swings and connects, inadvertently "striking his son over the heart." The son dies before they can make it to the hospital.
There's no underestimating baseball's versatile capacity for killing us. Late Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti famously wrote that baseball "is designed to break your heart," and the statement takes on new meaning reading Death at the Ballpark, particularly Gorman and Weeks' section on commotio cordis, or concussions of the heart. A commotio cordis can be brought about only by getting struck at a particular place in the chest at the exact moment between heartbeats. And yet it manages to dispatch several pages' worth of victims.
Fatal fastballs to the head, meanwhile, aren't nearly as common as you'd expect. In the past 150 years, only one fan at a major league baseball game has been killed by a foul ball—a 14-year-old in Los Angeles named Alan Fish. The liner that fractured Fish's skull came off the bat of Dodger pinch-hitting specialist Manny Mota, whose own teenage nephew would be killed 14 years later while playing shortstop in New York—a coincidence Gorman and Weeks don't stop to note. Mota's nephew, a high-schooler, was struck by lightning as he stood in the field, five minutes after the umpire announced he was going to call the game at the end of the inning.
Lightning is another improbably frequent killer (though perhaps it's less improbable when you consider that baseball is played in summer, typically on flat fields surrounded by metal bleachers and fences). During a 1949 amateur game in Florida, the third baseman, shortstop, and second baseman were all killed by a single lightning bolt, which struck the backstop, then shot around the infield as though completing a double play.
The grim catalog rolls on. A semipro pitcher in Cincinnati is "struck simultaneously on the head by both a thrown and batted ball while warming up before a game." Pickup games played on improvised fields lead to outfielders chasing balls into the paths of cars, buses, trains, and, in one case, a hearse. At Ebbets Field in 1950, a man slumps over in his seat, shot through the back of his head by—it only becomes clear after days of police work—a teenager who was fooling around with a rifle on the roof of his apartment building several hundred yards away and with no clear line of sight.
Then there's a story Gorman and Weeks had both heard versions of but always assumed was apocryphal until they ran down a local newspaper account confirming it: In Morristown, Ohio, in 1902, one man asks another if he can borrow his penknife so he can sharpen the pencil he's using to keep score. The second man hands his penknife to the guy seated between them, named Stanton Walker, and asks Walker to pass it on. At that exact moment, a foul ball whaps Walker on the wrist, and he stabs himself.
Still, in the end, you could choose to see something slightly uplifting about the sheer volume of these freak and incomprehensible accidents. Take it as an indicator of just how much time Americans have spent on and around baseball fields over the last century and a half—of what baseball means to us. We've managed to die on the diamond in so many crazy ways only because it's one of the places we've done the most living. We've all been shagging flies in that minefield together.
Gorman told me that, while working on the book, he himself got smacked square in the forehead by a foul ball at a Triple A Game in Charlotte, N.C. "And my wife, she got hit in an odd way!" he added, almost as an afterthought. Then he launched into another story, about another game, on another night.
Correction, May 26, 2009: This piece originally and incorrectly stated that John McSherry collapsed while umpiring a game in St. Louis. It was in Cincinnati. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

This painting features a nude Chinese woman just hanging out. She's sitting on a traditional table along with her cat. The summers in China can be brutal, so hanging out in the nude is more common than you might think.
The artist Mo Nong signing some of his artwork before I took it to my workshop for proper mounting.
This painting is not titled, but is signed by the artist, and authenticated with his red signature seal.
The artist goes by the name (Mo Nong).
He lives in Beijing, the capital city of China.
This general style of painting that falls between modern art and folk art is done by many artists in China. Once the last modern I worked with retired, it took years to find another that I was really happy with. Finally, in 2012, I walked into the studio of Mo Nong, and found what I was looking for. His variety of composition and painting style make all of these paintings instant classics.
The day I met Mo Nong in his studio in the Panjiayuan artist community of Beijing.
Mo Nong uses paint power and water (similar to gouache) to get vivid colors. This is applied to handmade xuan paper (often called rice paper, though there's no rice in it). When I took these painting to my workshop, they were mounted with a silk brocade border. This border can be used in lieu of matting when you frame this artwork.

Gary's random little things about China:
So after traveling to China, you have just finished your first meal in a real Chinese restaurant.
But the bill comes, and the waiter forgot to bring everyone their fortune cookies!
Well, actually not...
You see, fortune cookies did not come from China (at least not directly).
One legend has it in the late 1800s or early 1900s, a Chinese man running a noodle making shop in San Francisco accidentally mixed a bunch of sugar in his dough, and didn't want to waste it. So he made cookies and stuck papers with people's fortunes on them as a novelty.
In the end, it's really the Chinese visitors to America that are confused when the waiter brings them a blob of sugary noodle dough with a piece of paper stuck in it.

Lucas Films has released the trailer for Star Wars: Clone Wars in all its shiny, CGI glory. Everything mechanical and alien is quite sharp. The B1 battle droids look just as CGI crisp as they always have, but this time they actually blend with the surroundings. And the computer animation agrees with orange Jedi Padawan Ashoka Tano as well as with the green Nautolan. But as for the actual human beings, they stick out like a sore thumb. Update: We now have the full trailer.
Anakin is a completely different person, and Count Dooku's beard looks ridiculous. Also, none of the human voices seem to match their characters. So the new look for the Jedi's definitely lives up to the promise that this is a, 'Star Wars Like You've Never Seen It Before.' But with many of the characters being of a different species, like the baldy butt kicking Asajj Ventress, it works.

<font size="\"2\"" style="\"font-family:" arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"=""> In this section you will find the output of the small press and self published comics artists and writers who are part of a vibrant \'underground\' comics scene in the UK. Many of these people are starting out and will become stars of the future - whilst some choose to self publish as they don\'t want to deal with large corporate publishing entities who they feel may compromise their vision or material. Others produce material which is too idiosyncratic or controversial for mainstream publishers others simply in the best \'punk\' spirit just want to make a comic.
The formats and quality are wildly variable - from very professionally packaged, written and drawn stories that wouldn\'t look out of place at Marvel, DC, Fantagraphics etc. to photocopied, stapled, roughly drawn and wildly anarchic output. We have made a decision not to pick and choose and will be offering you all product offered to us - you choose - you may find something you have never seen in comics before. From our experience there is a lot of extremely good and often very funny output coming out of the UK. If you thought that British comics were just Beano and 2000AD - think again.
Due to the often low retail of these items and the fact the production runs can be extremely small we often cannot discount these books as we usually do with all our other graphic novels. Where there is more room to, we will offer some small discounts but every comic/book will have FREE delivery in the UK and Ireland. So if you want to support British comics at the grass roots go on and try some of the items listed in this section. To make titles easier to find they are grouped alphabetically by the author\'s surname.

High Resolution Mosaic of Phobos
This high-resolution mosaic of Phobos was created from three Viking orbiter images. The striking feature in this image is the giant Stickney crater. Grooved fractures caused from the impact that created Stickney extend away from the crater. (Copyright © 1997 by Calvin J. Hamilton)
Six Views of Phobos
This picture shows six different orientations of Phobos. The images were rendered by using Peter C. Thomas' model and the USGS airbrush map of Phobos. (Courtesy A. Tayfun Oner)
Phobos 2 VSK image of the Martian Moon Phobos
This image was taken by the VSK instrument on the USSR Phobos 2 spacecraft in March of 1989 shortly before the spacecraft failed. It is made from blue and red images superimposed on a broadband high resolution image. The color is as true as can be with no real green image, although color variations are exagerated. From the VSK data, this is perhaps the prettiest color picture. (Courtesy Ted Stryk)
Stickney Crater
One of the most striking features of Phobos, aside from its irregular shape, is its giant crater Stickney. Because Phobos is only 28 by 20 kilometers (17 by 12 miles), the moon must have been nearly shattered from the force of the impact that caused the giant crater. Grooves that extend across the surface from Stickney appear to be surface fractures caused by the impact. Near the crater, the grooves measure about 700 meters (2300 feet) across and 90 meters (295 feet) deep. However, most of the grooves have widths and depths in the 100 to 200 meters (328 to 655 feet) and 10 to 20 meters (33 to 65 feet) ranges, respectively. (Courtesy NASA)
Stickney Crater Another View
This image shows a slightly different view of the Stickney crater. A crater within the Stickney crater is visible. (Courtesy Calvin J. Hamilton)
Topographic Map of Phobos
This is a topographic map of Phobos. It is based upon the shape model of Phil Stooke. As with all maps, it is the cartographer's interpretation; not all features are necessarily certain given the limited data available. This interpretation stretches the data as far as possible.
